<p>There's no question that this type of device (variable output) is a great idea. How many different devices do you have that each need a different voltage (5.7, 9, 12, 17, etc, etc etc). With the Amp rating, it could power a lot of stuff.</p>
<p>See, there you go, directing me back to ebay "just in case"....</p>

<p>$2.88 including shipping?!?! What could this stuff cost to build? Shipping is at least $1.50 even on a Chinese Junk. These prices scare me..........</p>

<p>I see what you mean by inexpensive.......</p>
<p>Under $5.00 including shipping on ebay. And that includes a digital voltage readout. That's just amazing.</p>
<p>A small wet cell motorcycle battery should keep you playing for days without a recharge.</p>
<p>I used to fly RC planes so I am familiar with those battery packs and the charger. Still have it in a box some place.</p>
<p>Thanks for all the useful information.</p>

<p>Tom,</p>
<p>No heat sink is needed for powering the Roland 10GX. My voltage regulator doesn't even get warm. It's the "Buck" type which is pretty efficient.</p>
<p>The voltage regulator came assembled on the circuit board. They are very inexpensive on Ebay.</p>
<p>I do use the LIPo's for a lot of applications. They make round ones that look like could be directly substituted for round batteries. I haven't gotten one of those. I already had all of this stuff from RC electric…</p>

<p>The chargers are a little investment. I got a nice USA made cell balancing one 5 years ago. I think a good one can be had for $30.

<p>Sounds like a great solution for a lot of applications. The data sheet for the LM2596 makes it sound pretty easy to set up. Does it need a heat sink?</p>
